Caricom governments have an
obligation to ensure that domestic
law be put in conformity with com-
munity (Caricom) law says St Vin-
cent and the Grenadines Prime
Minister Ralph Gonsalves.
Gonsalves was at the time pre-
senting a lecture on Free Movement
of Community Nationals, CCJ,
Shanique Myrie, Community Law
and Our Caribbean Civilisation at
the University of the West Indies,
St Augustine on Tuesday night.
Gonsalves was discussing the sig-
nificant effects of the Myrie case in
which the Caribbean Court of Justice
(CCJ) ruled in favour of Jamaican
national 22-year-old Shanique Myrie
after she was denied entry into Bar-
bados in 2011.
He said that countries needed to
ensure that domestic law conformed
with Caricom Community law "since
to the extent of any inconsistency
on any relevant matter, Community
law would prevail."
He said immigration and other
border control officials needed to
incorporate the Myrie guidelines
provided by the CCJ at the points
of entry to Member States of Cari-
com
These guidelines included the need
for Caricom member states to inform
a community national refused entry,
in writing, not only of the reasons
for the refusal but also of his or her
right to challenge that decision
through an effective and accessible
appeal or review procedure with ade-
quate safeguards to protect the rights
of the person denied entry.
Gonsalves said for this to happen,
education of immigration officials
and alterations of pre-existing
domestic regulations and procedures
to confirm with community law,
were urgently required.
Health authorities in Cuba have
confirmed six cases of the mosquito-
borne chikungunya virus on the
island.
Cuba is the latest Caribbean nation
to confirm cases of the virus, which
resembles dengue fever and can cause
high fever, skin rash and joint pain.
According to the Pan American
Health Organisation, there had been
4,600 confirmed and 166,000 sus-
pected cases in the Caribbean as of
mid-June.
There is currently no vaccine or treat-
ment for chikungunya.
The Cuban health ministry said those
affected had recently travelled to Haiti
or the Dominican Republic, where
thousands of people have reported suf-
fering from the severe headaches, high
fever and intense joint pain sympto-
matic for the virus.
Officials said they would "strengthen
surveillance and control measures of
travellers arriving from countries at risk
of the disease, mainly in the Caribbean".
The virus has long been present in
Africa and Asia but it was only detected
in the Caribbean in December.
On Wednesday, the Central American
nation of El Salvador put seven munic-
ipalities on alert after its first cases
were confirmed.
The virus is also spreading quickly
in the Dominican Republic and Haiti,
and there have been confirmed cases
in most of the Caribbean island states.
